June 25th through July 1st, 2013

Lake Lucerne
It was hot this week. The lake temperature touched 77°F, the air temperature touched the 80's°F.

And, of course, feet touched water.

The ski show was condensed to one act, the opening barefoot line, which was punctuated by rumbles and rain from the sky.

And not just a little rain. Best rain storm in the last several years blessed the lake with over 3.5 inches. Yay!

The creek by the bar had all but dried up before the rain. Now it's flowing like it flowed during the Spring thaw.

All that wet has pushed the lake up to 30 inches below the nail. Get your last look at the extended shoreline, it's going fast.

The way I see it, you can't have enough things that eat mosquitos. Especially this year.

It's hot, sunny at times and there's almost enough water in the lake to float the, up to now, purely ornamental buoys on the south end. If there is a down side to the season thus far it'd be the bitey bugs. If coming to the north woods, bring DEET. Gallons of DEET. A swim suit would be good too.
